Work in Progress Wednesday


 I have been thinking about doing another whole cloth crazy quilt.  I have dug out a linen napkin that I hand-dyed a while back.  Yes, it desperately needs to be ironed but I haven't fully committed to it yet.  I also have the butterfly motif that I am considering.  The butterfly is stitched in silk thread on silk fabric, luscious!  

So, is the linen napkin too pale?  It looks more grey in the photo than it actually is.  For the other whole cloth crazy quilt I used black fabric and it really made the stitching pop.  Maybe a more muted piece would be okay.  I am dithering.  I know I like bright and bold colours best but it is good to do something different.  I just want to be sure I am going to like it!

Bright threads on a muted foundation will also pop. Go for it! It will be another show stopper.

Bead Journal for September

I feel like this has enough beading now.  The beading enhances the kaleidoscope without obliterating it.  I pushed myself outside of my box by using some bigger beads.  I am always learning!

Slow Stitching Sunday

 Working on another wool mandala.  It is a pleasure to have the wool on my lap now that the weather has turned colder.  I started this project back in the summer and didn't enjoy working on it so much then.  I wonder if I can complete this project this winter.  There are fifteen wool mandalas to do.  It doesn't seem likely that I will.  I could be wrong.  I don't want to put any undue pressure on myself.  There is no deadline.  The spring might be cool enough to continue working on it.   My but I do jump into the future.  Slow stitching really helps me to be present.  I am so grateful that stitching is such a balm for my soul.  We all need to have something that does that for us.   I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
